Al-Hilal are expected to bid for Darwin Nunez in the coming days, according to CBS Sports sources, with the Liverpool striker having emerged as their primary striker target. Nunez is believed to be valued at around $80 million with Liverpool keen to recoup much of the then-club record $115.

Liverpool reportedly rejected an approach for Núñez from Saudi Arabia during the January transfer window, with Slot keen on retaining his squad at a time when Arsenal briefly flirted with putting up a genuine title tilt. That stance has undoubtedly shifted this summer and Pro League interest has reemerged.
